With the goal he scored against Frosinone, Hakan became the Turkish football player who scored the most goals in Seria A history (37 goals)
For many years this record belonged to Şükrü Gülesin, who played for Palermo and Lazio between 1950-1953.
So, do you know who made Gülesin play in Italy ?
Guiseppe Meazza !
Giuseppe Meazza becomes Beşiktaş coach in March 1948. When he returns to his country, he speaks highly of Şükrü Gülesin and Bülent Esel, whom he coached at Beşiktaş. First Gülesin is transferred to Palermo and then Esel is transferred to SPAL.
Gülesin and Esel are still among the top 3 Turkish players who have scored the most goals in Seria A history.
